THAT'S 3 BUS DRIVERS STABBED IN LESS THAN A YEAR

And that is just the stabbings. We've had plenty of spitting incidents, things being thrown at operators, and just plain verbal abuse.

Yet that dictator in charge Mcfarlane continues in his war against his own employees! We will never know the exact extent that Mcfarlanes badmouthing Trimet operators has contributed to these vicious assaults. We do know it has had an effect on peoples consciousness. Many people are under the mistaken belief that Trimet operators are overpaid and over compensated hence they have built up resentment towards transit workers. 

And that resentment boils over into physical attacks. 

The 'richest health care package', you want to be a bus driver you had better have good health care
